Blue Water Bridge Tolls

The Blue Water Bridge border crossing charges tolls going from both the U.S. to Canada and Canada to the U.S. The bridge connects Port Huron Michigan with Sarnia (Point Edward) Ontario. U.S. Interstate 69 and 94 connects with Canadian ON 402.

We have complete information on this border crossing on our Blue Water Bridge border crossing page.  We also have pages for Blue Water Bridge traffic conditions and weather related road conditions.

The Blue Water Bridge crossing is a large complex consisting of toll and inspection plazas on each side of the border. There are two spans, the original Blue Water Bridge which is a three-lane westbound bridge, and another bridge that carries three lanes of eastbound traffic. Tolls are collected at both ends of the bridge and are managed by different entities.
